  • Friendly adults-only site at the foot of the Malvern Hills
  • Access to Castlemorton Common and 35 minutes’ walk from Little Malvern
  • Barbecues permitted on site; walk to four country pubs
Keen to get away to the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty? Looking for a break where your dog can get involved with the hill walking? A peaceful spot within walking distance of multiple cosy country pubs? Marlbrook Farm is here to get things started… The family-run, adults-only site based on a working horse livery yard is in the Malvern Hills AONB with direct access to Castlemorton Common and a 10-minute drive from the Three Counties Showground. Don your hiking boots and head for the common or the hills – the site is just 35 minutes’ walk from Little Malvern and under 10 minutes’ drive from British Camp Hill Fort. Those of you who’d rather mount your bicycle and get pedalling can set your sights on historic Ledbury (15 minutes’ drive or 45 minutes’ cycle) and the peaceful riverside in Upton upon Severn (25 minutes’ drive or cycle) too. Hill walking and cycling aside, those wishing to tip back a few local ales and indulge in some country pub grub will be pleased to find four such establishments within walking distance. The closest is just 15 minutes’ walk away and the remainder are 25 minutes’ walk or 35 minutes’ walk away – so judge your favourite for yourselves. If barbecues with stunning views are high on your priorities too, good news. They're permitted on site, and there’s a village shop 10 minutes’ walk away to simplify sourcing ingredients. Facilities on this peaceful independent site include one shower and two toilets located a short walk away from the pitches (passing by the horse stables) and a chemical disposal point.

What customers say

This peaceful, rural campsite offers spacious, level pitches with stunning views. Guests love the quiet atmosphere and direct access to beautiful walks. It's horse-friendly with paddocks and stables. Facilities are basic but mostly adequate, though some note limited toilets/showers. Great value for most, though a few found it pricey for what's on offer.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked So peaceful and green with well spaced, well kept pitches, good pubs within walking distance, big common for dog walking. We weren’t able to get hold of anyone when we arrived as there was no phone reception at all (which was actually quite nice) so just chose our own pitch. The facilities are exactly what I would have expected on a livery yard, they’re rustic and well used but functional. If you like spick and span club type places this isn’t for you but we loved it and will come back.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Setting, friendliness of the people I came across in the horse yard. Easy to find. Beautiful setting! Spacious pitches, quite. Everything I needed. Shower was hot and more than adequate.

Disliked Not really anything to dislike. I’m pretty self sufficient in my van. Filled up with water a couple of times, used the loo and had a shower. Can’t ask for more. It’s rural, on a livery/equine yard so if you don’t like horses probably not the ideal place.

Liked Peace and quiet

Disliked Shower room - the shower itself worked fine but it was quite dirty and didn’t appear to be cleaned at all during our 3 night stay also I didn’t mind but some might not like having to walk through the mucky yard to get to the toilet/shower

Non-electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Great location, quiet and loads of walks.
A number of good pubs in walking distance.
A very helpful lady (I assume the owner) offered us the use of her private shower when the site one stopped working.
Would go again.

Disliked Don't expect 5 star facilities, (we didn't, so weren't disappointed)

Local attractions

From the site, walk straight out onto Castlemorton Common. From there, it'll take you around an hour to walk to the top of the Malvern Hills without even crossing a road. On the edge of Welland, the site is also within walking distance of the annual Welland Steam & Country Rally event. There are many more festivals in Upton upon Severn (25 minutes’ drive) For a peek into the past, try Little Malvern Priory (35 minutes' walk) or Eastnor Castle (10 minutes' drive). The latter has a deer park, arboretum and a grand castle with turrets overlooking the lake. Gawp at the state rooms in the castle or try and work your way out of the garden maze. If you’re looking to switch things up, you might want to roll down to the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (25 minutes) for yet more wanders or watersports on the River Wye.
